Deputy-involved shooting in Lemon Grove

LEMON GROVE  A sheriff's deputy shot at, and later Tasered, a man Friday night in Lemon Grove who claimed to have a gun and took aim at the deputy with what turned out to be a cell phone.

The incident, reported at 10:09 p.m. in the area of Skyline Drive and Palm Street, involved an attempted suicide by a man later identified as Raymond Douville, Sgt. Greg Hampton said.

Douville called 911 and said he had swallowed a large amount of pills.

When the deputy arrived in the area, they saw him outside of the home from where the 911 call came, and the man tried to hide behind a parked car.

Douville then pulled out a black object and said it was a gun. When the deputy drew his gun and told Douville to drop the object, Douville stood up and took aim at the deputy, prompting the deputy to fire three shots, none of which hit Douville.

Douville then told the deputy that the object was a phone, at which time the deputy holstered his weapon and ordered Douville to the ground.

Douville, instead, continued to walk toward the deputy, at which time the deputy Tasered him.

Douville was taken to Sharp Grossmont Hospital with complaints of chest pain, and will be booked at county jail once he is released, sheriff's officials said in a news release.
